    It's not amaterish anymore than GOG or Steam giving out free games back in the day. Even before it used to be magazines with free games on CDs. I still have these games in my libraries. It's widely used strategy by bigger business to start new departments or even child companies. It's why they say money makes money.

      It's amateurish that their store advertised games to me that were unavailable to me. I'm no code whiz, but it can't be that hard to chuck in an if (region == false) then !advertise; Valve and GOG don't seem to have any problems with that.

      I have no issue with them giving away free games. Too bad that and the paid exclusives don't earn them a loyal customer base. Maybe if they'd put more effort into their store. Like maybe not advertising region locked games to regions where they're not available.

        That part i agree. It's not that unrealistic with their budget .
